CUBA MERCI GRACIAS

Alex B. Martin headed to Cuba with his actress friends Alexa-Jeanne Dubé and Emmanuelle Boileau. On their trip, he shot a handmade film that delves into the most intimate aspects of friendship. The handheld camera follows the young women to a sunbaked beach, through the gritty streets of Havana, on their encounters with local people, and through their existential musings. Dialling up the tension and the power of emotions, the magical trip has a visceral effect on the women’s bond. Cuba merci gracias is an immersive, contemplative work made amidst the distressed beauty of a great city.
